A Rush Limbaugh Exposition
I suspect I've painted a few additional Rush Limbaugh portraits or paintings featuring Rush, but these are the ones I can find. I've also drawn a half-dozen or so Faithmouse cartoons with Rush as the subject; you can find a few of those if you're interested via Google image seach.
Oh, and get better soon, Rush. It wouldn't be the same without you.
On a related note, I've decided that my New Years painting-in-progress of boorish lout Mark Simone was a little too kind, so here's a reboot-
A little smaller this time around and on sheet canvas.

A Mark Simone New Year, In Progress
In Progress: WABC New York Right Wing talk show host Mark Simone wishes you a very special New Year. His 2010 banner is written on a length of toilet paper.
I'm painting this on gessoed masonite, a variation from my usual work on canvas. I'll refine the acrylic underpainting a little more, seal with a clear acrylic, and then proceed to the oil.
Thanks to Gawker for including me in their 2009: Gawker's Year in Pictures.

Plans For 2010
I've made a commitment to paint larger and more detailed work in 2010. The longest I've ever worked on a painting is a few days; I'm planning to produce at least one piece a month with a time investment of 1-2 weeks. I'll keep posting smaller paintings for Ebay, although I can't say if there will be more or less of those than in 2009. I would think less, but you never know. The larger pieces I won't be able to auction, but I can make high-quality and signed giclee prints available, similar to the work I did for PETA earlier in the year.
For the past few weeks I've tried to decide upon a theme for 2010. I've made a list of possible work, ranging from the pornographic to the political, and the religious, or a combination of the three. Undecided, I reviewed my list and realized I made a list. So I'll just continue as normal.
Singletree Productions has asked me to make a poster for their upcoming S&M Lawn Care. Thanks, Mark-I'll have that for you in a few weeks.
My first detailed large work for 2010 will actually be the Tinsley Mortimer pancake painting from a few months ago. I missed out on having the painting appear on her upcoming CW Network reality show because I couldn't stop working on it. I know Tinsley is dissapointed, but she's getting a three thousand dollar painting for $125. Once she receives the canvas all may be forgiven.
Again, smaller Ebay work will continue into 2010. For New Years Eve I would like to honor with a new pancake portrait WABC Right-Wing talk show host and Mark Levin fill-in Mark Simone, who recently emailed me to let me know that I am an idiot. Mark, it will be a fat pleasure.

Bill Bernanke And Barack Obama Nude On A Unicorn Head 'South Of The Border'
I was reminded this morning by Time Magazine's selection of Bill Bernanke as 'Person Of The Year' of this painting of Bill Bernanke and Barack Obama Nude On A Unicorn which I posted a month or two ago to Ebay but neglected to add it to the blog. I call this painting South Of The Border.
Congrats!
